NEW YORK (AP) – For the man who has everything – or someone really desperate to find a last-minute gift – Joel Krupnik and Mildred Castellanos have an answer: Their red-suited Santa Claus figure, holding a bloody knife in one hand and a severed doll’s head in the other, went up for auction on Christmas Day.
Already, bidding had reached $200 and “might go higher, maybe even to $500,” the New York Post quoted Krupnik as saying.
Lest anyone be offended – and some people were – Krupnik had explained earlier that the macabre holiday display outside the couple’s midtown Manhattan home was intended as a protest against the commercialization of Christmas.
… The auction proceeds would go to the highest bidder’s favorite charity, according to a sign next to the display, which also included a number of other Barbie doll heads.
